[Verse 1]
G G Must it take a life for hateful eyes Em Em To glisten once again C C Five hundred years like Gelignite Em D Have blown us all to hell (to hell!) G G What savior rests while on his cross we die Em Em Forgotten freedom burns C C Has the Shephard led his lambs astray Em D to the bigot and the gun
[Chorus]
C G Must it take a life for hateful eyes C D To glisten once again G C Em Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess G D G Singin' drunken lullabies

[Verse 2]
G G I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes Em Em Turn a darker shade of red C C And the bullet with this sniper lie Em D In their bloody gutless cell G G Must we starve on crumbs from long ago Em Em Through these bars of men made steel C C Is it a great or little thing we fought Em D Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
[Chorus]
C G Must it take a life for hateful eyes C D To glisten once again G C Em Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess G D G Singin' drunken lullabies
[Bridge]
C D G Ah, but maybe it`s the way we're taught C D G Or maybe it`s the way we fought C D G C But a smile never grins without tears to begin C D G G For each kiss is a cry we all lost C G Though nothing left to gain C D But for the banshee that stole the grave G C Em Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess G D G Singin' drunken lullabies (right!)

[Verse 3]
G G I sit in and dwell on faces past Em Em Like memories seem to fade C C No color left but black and white Em D And soon will all turn grey G G But may these shadows rise to walk again Em Em With lessons truly learnt C C When the blossom flowers in each our hearts Em D Shall beat a new found flame (the flame!)
[Chorus]
C G Must it take a life for hateful eyes C D To glisten once again G C Bm Em Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess G D G Singin' drunken lullabies
[Outro]
G C Em Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess G D G C Em Singin' drunken... lul... abies G D G Singin' drunken lullabies
